Yeah your not the only person to have complained about the sound at the Amsterdam arena. It’s just the nature of stadiums I guess, hit or miss, they’re not designed for concerts. I’ve never been a big fan of hampden for gigs either although I did feel there was a significant difference between vertigo and 360 tour there (360 was much better). Hydro in Glasgow though is incredibly good sound.

The Arena is well known for poor sound but I could not quite believe how bad. It was my 3rd show so I knew what is was supposed to be like. I would certainly never go back to the ArenA. I will stick to Paris in future.
2nd worst was the Mungsdorfer Stadium in Cologne for Zooropa,
Twickenham was surprisingly good, Brussels was ok too. Yes, I like the Hydro too.
360 was very good everywhere I went I thought.

Wow that bad, that’s really a shame it was so bad. Got to beg the question why not play elsewhere in Holland?
Yeah Twickenham I was extremely happy with and Brussels good too.
All I’ve got left to mention is the SECC which generally isn’t great. I’ve got to be honest and say I can’t remember much of the sound back then. U2 probably did better than anyone could but I guess it wasn’t anything spectacular. Great setlist I witnessed though.
